"gotcha" politics - noun/adjective phrase:
an accusatory or derogatory term used by pundits or voters of the conservative persuasion against opponents during a discussion or debate when the conservatives' opinion or political belief has been demonstrated as having no logical reason or justification.
usage example:
Metro editors are liberal radicals
via e-mail. "The opinion page of your 'newspaper' clearly endorses and sadly provides a forum for the far, far, far left liberal idealogy. Albeit an opinion page, your editors choose to select the most radical, factless and self-serving opinions to further your cause and to help the Democrat party play 'gotcha' politics. Your newspaper serves no other purpose than to indoctrinate a largely naive young voting group into your radical belief circle."
-- Tobias Borubon
